The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk pageorWikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
DYK is good, may be minor scope of improvement to get feeling of what source says ".. He teaches two categories of classes. .. One is a ‘goshti gayana’ (group singing) class, where 99 per cent of the students are women. .. Every three months, he and his students gather at a kalabhavan he has built near IIMB to spend time together and sing ‘goshti gayana’. “I’ve been doing this since 1984 and have taught thousands of women,” .."
May be by linking words 'group singing' to Sing-alongorChoir would help.
Overall: Quite an interesting article. An alt DYK also would be possible with 'walking tour singing all the way 16 kilometres'. Since CCBY rendition seem to be available. If policy allow adding external link to composition would be interesting and also see if a pic can be added while singing from same CCBY. Anyways other than QPQ, DYK seems sort of ready.

@DaxServer: I am talking about same YouTube you took image from, I am suggesting his image showing his hand movement while singing or clip itself if technically possible to include in DYK. Bookku (talk) 16:43, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DaxServer and Bookku: This article still has several "clarification needed" tags in it, which need to be resolved before it can be featured on the main page for DYK. Could you please address these and let us know when it has been fixed? Cielquiparle (talk) 23:52, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Re-approving, as QPQ has now been completed and a few terms requiring clarification have been removed. (Understand there is an ongoing discussion relevant to future GA submission on the article Talk page, but that shouldn't be a blocker for DYK, as the article meets the criteria otherwise.)

@DaxServer As per this comment of yours, while creating the article it seems that you yourself tagged few terminologies related to nuances used in Carnatic music which you may be unaware of. What I suggest is you get in touch with contributing editors of other Carnatic music related articles. I hope that would help resolve issues raised @ DyK more easily. If this does not succeed then some of those mentions can be removed temporarily un til you get further information.
Your clarification tags from the article (The clarifications sought by you are mentioned in bracket for easier discussion):
"he organizes free teaching classes in Navavaranam[clarification needed] at some of his gatherings in Bangalore" (Explain this)
Apologies for the delayed response, I was asked to offer technical comments on the above issue by @Bookku.
"he organizes free teaching classes in Navavaranam at some of his gatherings in Bangalore" - here Navavaranam means the Kamalamba Navavarna Kritis (compositions of Muthuswami Dikshitar).
